Re: Please Don't Overprice The SS

I recall last year that the caprice PPVs was being sold to police departments for $24,600. Such a price, even as a loss leader, is possible, yet when GM proclaims the SS to be a halo car, they are thinking making a heavenly profit per car. I'm thinking a minimum of $10,000 per vehicle, putting an absolute floor of $340000, or more if they can.
If it is $30,000, sign me up now. (A Chevy store I bought my Tahoe through assured me they will sell me the SS at list), yet do I trust them on this? No way Jose.

Re: Please Don't Overprice The SS

Keep in mind that the Charger actually exceeds $40,000 with a fully loaded R/T variant let alone the SRT8 variants that the SS will compete with. The 300C and Taurus easily exceed $45,000, and quite frankly the SS will be more exclusive than either.

Re: Please Don't Overprice The SS

Since it coming overseas from the land down under it's going to be fully loaded with color choice as the big decision.

With the LT1 it should equal the dodge SRT 8 in power and price. Not the super bee version which has less content.

I believe the srt8 is 48 grand ....whatever the volume is on that model GM can expect about the same for the SS.

It works to help the australian factory stay busy..

Win win....but not a 24 grand v8 g8 gt give a way like 2008 and 2009....so I'm sure we will hear bitching from those who never buy anyway..... (kidding)

Originally I would suggest the camaro SS 2ss pricing for the new SS. THAT MAKES MORE SENSE TO ME TOO

I think it would be about exactly that (plus or minus $500), if it were being built in North America. As I mentioned in another thread, if it sticks around long enough to move to Alpha, I'd bet on production moving to Oshawa (of course by then the basic Camaro SS will MSRP for around $37-$38k w/ the 2SS starting around $41k).

Re: Please Don't Overprice The SS

They aren't going to let the SS transact at Cadillac prices. Frankly, it won't be worth that kind of money.

I see it starting around $31,900 and topping at $44,000-ish, assuming multiple engine options.

nsap I'm usually with you but on that one you are WAY off. This isn't a barb aimed at you, just cold reality.

There is no way in Hell it will start that low. The G8 GXP started at $39995 in 2009. Jump to 2013, with upgrades this car will be $41,995 minimum. This is going to be a low 40's vehicles people. Its good to hope and dream but you all are setting yourselves up for MASSIVE DISAPPOINTMENT when you get the STICKER SHOCK of your life next year.

Lets put this talk to bed. EXPECT AROUND $42K FOR A BASE CHEVY SS. And don't be surprised if it has an LT1 that it stickers for closer to 44 or 45K. Niche, halo, updated G8 GXP, aimed at Charger GXP. Just use the facts people. FACTS point to a starting pricing point in the low 40's. Anything else and you are just fooling yourself and living in a fantasy world. I say this as a dose of reality, not a flame people.

Re: Please Don't Overprice The SS

While I hope NSAP has some insider info the rest of us aren't privy to, I gotta agree with Orbit. If the SS is a Pontiac G8 GXP spec vehicle(hi-po V8 only) with higher quality interior and much more modern tech there's no way it stickers for any less then $39,995. The only way I'll consider buying into the over $40k price range is if they offer us the Ute. My 09 G8 GT has more agressive styling, serves me well, is PLENTY fast enough and it's paid off. Although I think it'll be a great overall car(ala GTO),I'm already prepared for the SS letdown.
